Every Black Friday, there are hundreds of people milling the stores in malls, trying to get a bargain. The crowds can make shopping a real pain. However, you can survive this day. Here's how. Sleep early on Thanksgiving. Black Friday always precedes Thanksgiving holiday when families share dinner and lots of festivities. Avoid partying till late and instead go to bed so as to wake up fresh and early. Shop and travel in groups. Black Friday shopping can be hectic. Shoppers often lose their goods and some get trampled on. You will be safer and have more fun if you have company. It is always a good idea to plan ahead and know exactly what you want to buy. Do your research and find out what deals you want and which stores have that which you desire. [Photo: cnet.com]
